What are the 2 forces not keeps the planets in their respective orbits?
Centripetal force and Gravity
What forces cause the planets to go around the sun and stay in their orbits?
The force of gravity between the planets and the sun is what keeps the planets in their orbits. Gravity pulls the planets towards the sun, but their forward velocity keeps them moving in a circular or elliptical path around it. This balance between gravity and velocity enables the planets to stay in their orbits around the sun.
What from the Sun keeps the planets in their orbits?
Gravity
Who keeps the planets in their orbits?
It isn't actually a who, but a what. That what is Gravity.
How are planets kept in there orbits?
The gravitational pull of the sun keeps the planets in orbits... Although some people think it is magnetism....
Why planets and moons of planets stay in their orbits?
The forces of gravity between two masses are the cause of all orbits.
What keeps all of the planets in its orbit?
The gravitational force exerted by the Sun keeps all the planets in their orbits. This force balances the planets' tendency to move in a straight line and keeps them moving in elliptical orbits around the Sun.
What is the force that along with inertia keeps the planets in their orbits?
gravity
Why do the planets orbit the sun What is the shape of those orbits?
Planets orbit the sun because gravity keeps them from escaping, and momentum keeps them moving forward. The orbits are elliptical, which is like an oval.
What two forces work together to keep the planets in orbit around the sun?
The two forces that work together to keep the planets in orbit around the sun are gravity and inertia.
How do planets stay on orbit?
The gravity of the Sun keeps the planets in their orbits. They stay in their orbits because there is no other force in the Solar System which can stop them.
What keeps the planets in your solar system from floating away?
The force of the Sun's gravity keeps them in their orbits.
